I’ll join the “Let’s blog about Chrome Party”. It’s Windows only.
End of review.

From one who is a member of the tbbs-Land family, and whose technical advice, for better or worse, helped launch this humble blog, a note via FriendFeed, from Dragon*Con:
“Going to a party in Grant Park, leaving the protective bubble of the geekosphere. I’ll be back, I’m not ready to return to standard reality yet. You [...]
Between the Google Reader and del.icio.us, my saved bookmarks are spiralling out of control yet again.
I shame-facedly went to the Google Reader, as I detailed here. In spite of my aversion to the Google, it has worked well. Too well. The “add star” feature is just too handy, and I use it [...]
Just downloaded HotSSH, a Gnome front-end for OpenSSH, and the associated md5 checksum file.
A quick
cfv -t md5 -f hotssh-0.2.5.md5sum hotssh-0.2.5.tar.gz
and I validated my download. Much better method than doing an md5sum myself and then squinting to compare checksums.

From my Fedora Rawhide feed, cfv, a nifty md5/sha1/a_host_of_others checksum validator and generator. cfv can recurse directories, generating or validating checksums at will.
There are so manny command line options that I’m having difficulty absorbing it all right now. Look at this:
[knelson@gypsy ~]$ cfv –help
cfv v1.18.2 - Copyright (C) 2000-2008 Matthew Mueller - GPL [...]
One of my Fedora feeds had an announcement of the Rawhide version of a nifty little utility called rpl. Here’s its help screen:
Usage: rpl [options] old_string new_string target_file(s)
Options:
–version show program’s version number and exit
-h, –help show this [...]
I’ve griped and groused here on this old blog, and back in my days with the Twitter, about my need to consolidate all my RSS and Atom feeds under one roof, preferably a web-based one.
I tried Gregarius, as detailed here. And it was cool. I was hosting my own feeds. Problem was, I found [...]
I’ve not posted the results of an online quiz in quite a while. I like this one very much.
Still waiting to take this one, which remains to this day the funniest thing I’ve ever encountered on the internets.

After a long layoff from the unfriendly skies, I’m airborne again later this month. Destination: Boston.
This time for a geek extravaganza.
First and foremost, the Fourth Annual Red Hat Summit will be taking place. There is so much on the agenda for this that I’m having a hard time choosing which sessions [...]
The Fedora 9 Sulfur badge in the right sidebar has lost its “days until” verbiage, meaning that it’s released. I found a decently fast mirror, and am downloading the install DVD iso as I type this.
I also made another decision; some way, somehow, I want to be involved with the Fedora Project. [...]
